Here is the project I learned to single stitch crochet on. It is definitely not perfect but it is done. The white part was created by me, my mom, and my sister-in-law as they taught me how to crochet. The blue part was all me. Clearly, I need to learn how to do a few things... like going around corners. But! It's done. And folded in half, it fits perfectly in Leeloo's bed.

Crochet is fun. I found it more satisfying than knitting, not sure why. It seems more forgiving maybe. You'll be surprised how quickly you get good enough to start doing new things.

I did a little crochet in my early twenties, but never got much past single and double crochet. Then I needed curly hair for a doll this summer, and ended up breaking out the crochet hook and figuring something out. A couple months and a couple random hats later I crocheted a 'chain mail' helm for Nenya's Halloween costume this year, by just futzing around figuring out what looked good (that crochet is forgiving thing really helps with freeform experimentation).
